MIDTOWN EAST—A dedicated shopper sends word of one Gap to avoid if you're looking to purchase the retailer's new Whitney Biennial t-shirt collection. "Gap at 42nd/3rd has a pathetic selection. They only have 5 of the 13 styles at this store. The Chuck Close one is nice though; it's velvety instead of screenprinted." The shirts are also available online. [RackedWire]
PARK SLOPE—Babeland, one of the city's finest sex shops, will be opening the doors to their Slope outpost very, very soon. From a top-level informant: "Babeland Brooklyn is opening June 3rd at 462 Bergen Street between Flatbush and 5th avenue in Park Slope." Stock up on batteries now. [RackedWire]
CARROLL GARDENS—New Smith Street boutique Epauletopened just a few weeks ago with a Walter pop-up, but they'll be switching to a new designer within the month. The store's next guest will be Christopher Deane, whose clothes will be available from June 13th through July 13th. [RackedWire]
It's not as if Brooklynites needed another spot on Smith Street to break out the plastic, but we won't hold that against good-looking newcomer Epaulet. The chic men's and women's boutique, which opened last Thursday boasting a Walter pop-up shop, will eventually offer pieces from brands like Christopher Deane, Modern Amusement, Cheap Monday, Gram Footwear and Rogues Gallery. The space at 231 Smith has undergone a bit of a facelift since it was home to brightly-colored vintage sweater purveyor Ohio Knitting Mills which folded April 1st—what was rustic is now sleek and modern-looking (also, the floors have been swept clean of all traces of zig-zaggy sweaters). Owners Adele Berne and Michael Kuhle, both former buyers, are also planning more special store-within-a-stores, but brands are TBD at present time.

CARROLL GARDENS—The identity of the new tropical-seeming boutique at 231 Smith has been revealed: it is to be called Epaulet. The men's and women's clothing store is coming strong out of the gate with a Walter pop-up shop starting May 8th and running through June 12th. The 8th is also the date of the shop's grand opening party (from 7:30 to 10pm). Expect more pop-ups from the boutique in the future. [RackedWire]
NEW YORK CITY—Shoe chain Naturalizer will be accepting gently-used shoes from May 3rd through the 11th. According to Daily Dose, "they will donate them and a pair of brand new Naturalizer shoes to the charity, Dress for Success, as well as offer a 20% discount on a pair for yourself." That's nice of them. [Daily Dose]
